Looking forward to this set and particularly happy to see Grapefellow and Redberry made it! I'm also glad to see that the puzzle is returning! The closer we get to the original series (or, even better, to the first Old School series) the better. To be honest, I'm not thrilled with various back colors, I just want as much Dave Gross quality Wacky nostalgia as possible, so I may stick with the basic set and buy 2 or 3.

Yes, 30 cards, exact same format as the previous Old School with the only change being Checklists and Puzzles pieces will be added to the backs of the rough cards. So, not the exact same puzzle/ checklist format but they are there. There will be a Topps product as the puzzle. Same price, three sketch cards, Ludlow, tan and white variations. I tried asking for a header sticker (an Old School "wrapper" card to sit on the top of the stack) but not sure that made it this time around. I will also have the same contest deal for people that buy three and show me the receipt.

Will we get two options again?: a $150 full set plus other cards option and $50 partial set option. Please advise. Thanks

Space Food Sticks is a weird product that came out during the space race in the late 60s and continued through the mid 70s. It's shaped like a slim jim and is a protein stick or something like that. The box is great. It's almost all text. Jay wrote an amazing gag for it.

These things really weren't very good. They tasted like flavored sawdust with the texture of Play-Dough. But, as kids, we HAD to have them because... Space and NASA and Apollo missions!

There's two more products that I've never heard of: Fizzies and Goober Grape. What are they?

Also, I'd like to see pictures of the other Wackys, please!

Fizzies were tablets you would put in water (and some people put them in milk....ughh) to make it into a flavored "carbonated" beverage. If I remember correctly, it was made by the same company that made either Bromo Seltzer or Alka-Seltzer. Goober Grape was a peanut butter and jelly mixture.

Then Goober Grape was similar to Koogle (which was done in OLDS 1 as Kookle), right? Just made by a different company?

If you look at post #787 in the Master Spreadsheet section, you'll see that Nabisco may have been on the C & D list a long time ago in the 1970s, but it sure isn't now, that's for sure.

How can anyone legally protest parody stickers? I mean, I understand why Topps doesn't parody Disney, and it's not for legal reasons, it's because they don't wan't to lose their Disney licenses like Star Wars. But parody is protected under the law.

If you're considering 2 or 3 of the $50 sets, why not just buy the $150 package, which guarantees you a complete set, plus extras to trade or sell?

Good question! I probably should have said two sets. My reasoning is that I really have no interest in the various backs at all. Which meant (when I ordered the $150 set last time), I only had three sketches for the extra $100. And, quite honestly, I didn't really even like all that much any of the three sketches I got. As I recall, I traded all the extras for a complete set, thereby essentially wasting $50. I did get the chance at getting some awesome sketch cards but it just didn't pan out that way. Dave does amazing work, I love the retro products, and I want to support the cause. But paying an extra $100 for questionable benefit doesn't compute for me. There would simply have to be more to that extra $100 than what we currently get (unless the quality of the sketch cards improved a fair amount. But, who knows, maybe I just got a bad batch last time. Or maybe I'm getting spoiled).
